Dan, I am aware of Intel’s problems but I don’t understand that even though you claim AMD fortunes are not as bad as Intel's you think that nothing could be better. I submit to you that AMD is not doing well. You make the point that AMD’s revenues increased in the last quarter. But failed to show that Gross Profit declined. You rightfully said that AMD’s revenues increased by $13,575 million from 12/31/00 to 3/31/01. But Cost of Sales increased by $57,527 million. Thus Gross Profit declined during the period by $43,952 million. If ASP’s were higher and Flash was doing well why did Gross Profit decline? Yields? Q1/01 Revenues $1175172 Cost of Sales $ 657303 Gross Profit $ 517869 Q4/00 Revenues $1188747 Cost of Sales $714830 Gross Profit $ 473917 Revenue increase $13575 Cost of Sales increase $57527 Decrease in Gross Profit $43952 Herb

<font color=red>.First NVIDIA Crush Based Mainboard w/LDT Officially Announced [8:55 am] Rat MSI seems to have decided to make Computex its own promotion campaign: the new products stream down as from a horn of plenty. And what cool products these actually are! For instance, today, MSI announced its MS-6367 mainboard based on NVIDIA nForce (Crush) chipset. It is exactly the board that has aroused a lot of concerns about the chipset’s future. Actually, MSI has revealed the true name of the NVIDIA chipset, which is expected to be announced only on June 4 (Monday). If we take the mainboard specs for granted (and we really want to take them for granted), then nForce chipsets architecture will be exactly SMA and no exclusive DIMM modules will be required for the graphics memory. Here are the mainboard specs: MicroATX form-factor; Socket A; IGP nForce 420 North Bridge; 200MHz/266MHz system bus; 3 DDR DIMM slots for up to 1.5GB (when using 2 DDR, with 128-bit TwinBank Architecture; the bandwidth accommodates 4.2GB/s, which is twice faster than regular DDR platform. And when using 1 or 3 DDR modules, the memory bus makes 64bit); 3 PCI slots, 1 AGP 4x slot, 1 CNR slot; Integrated GeForce2 core; ATA/100, integrated AC’97 sound (MCP South Bridge without Dolby Digital support); To connect the IGP and MCP there is a high-speed bus with 800MB/sec bandwidth (HyperTransport protocols); Live BIOS and PC Alert III technologies. Well, as you can see, in case of 2 DDR SDRAM DIMM modules, nForce chipsets offer a unique feature for DDR chipsets: dual-channel memory access with the overall width equal to 128bit. In fact, it should have a positive effect not only on the performance of the integrated graphics core but also on the overall system performance. However, we wouldn’t draw any conclusions before at least some tests are carried out. ;-) xbitlabs.com Picture of MB here theregister.co.uk M
